Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 537 537: 536

The moment the sinister creature from Yun Ding Pavilion descended, Qin Heng's Divine Sense detected it. Subsequently, he was perfectly aware of its communication with Liu Daqiang, the process of it possessing Liu Daqiang, its state after the possession, and its destination. It simply couldn't escape his discerning eye.

A lowly demon from the Parasitic Soul Clan. Just let it go to the northwestern region to play with the people from the Boundless Vajra Sect, Qin Heng sneered inwardly. He had killed Cheng Longting, a True Disciple of the Boundless Vajra Sect. Their relationship was far from cordial; in fact, one could say there was some enmity between them.

The strange creature was a lesser demon from the Nine Nether, belonging to its lowest class of fiends and a member of the Parasitic Soul Clan. They were incapable of existing independently and had to reside within the bodies of other beings, either in symbiosis or by possession, to gradually grow stronger. However, even so, their peak potential upon reaching adulthood was merely the Golden Core Stage. They weren't strong, yet they were equivalent to a Great Saint on Earth!

In this era, when Spiritual Energy has yet to fully revive, possessing the power of a Great Saint would undeniably make one an invincible existence. Even if not a perfect Great Saint, their strength would be enough to sweep away all opposition and dominate everything!!

Of course, this demon from the Parasitic Soul Clan had just arrived and was still very weak. Even after obtaining a suitable body, it could at most grow to the Semi-Saint level in a short amount of time. A Semi-Saint wasn't very strong, but not weak either—certainly capable of causing some trouble for the Boundless Vajra Sect. The Boundless Vajra Sect's power in the northwest wasn't weak; it was certain this demon would eventually be slaughtered.

It's best to let the demon wreak havoc on its own. If it could attract stronger Nine Nether Evil Demons, it would actually be a great boon to Qin Heng, offering him numerous advantages and many more spiritual pills and wondrous medicines.

Su Xiao was somewhat surprised by Qin Heng's words. However, she wasn't the type to pry. Since Qin Heng didn't elaborate, she refrained from asking further. Qin Heng found her quite easy to get along with. Not bad at all.

After that, Qin Heng took Su Xiao to several renowned spots on the snack street, treating the beautiful woman, who wasn't very familiar with Beijing's cuisine, to a delightful feast.

"Qin Heng, you're amazing, really amazing!!" Su Xiao's eyes seemed to twinkle like starlight as she looked at Qin Heng. She wiped a grease stain from her lips and said with a smile, "Are there any more places like this in Beijing? Cheap, fun, and delicious?"

It turned out Su Xiao was quite a foodie. When faced with delicious food, her usual "Goddess-like" demeanor completely vanished, consumed by the desire for tasty treats. It's a wonder she manages to maintain such a great figure.

"There are a few more," Qin Heng smiled and was about to elaborate when he saw two people approaching. One of them radiated unmistakable hostility!!

He was a tall, handsome young man dressed in designer casual wear and sporting a Patek Philippe watch—the same person Qin Heng and Su Xiao had seen earlier in the office. Su Xiao's suitor. He was also Wang Minghe, the son of Professor Li, Su Xiao's graduate advisor.

"Su Xiao! Living it up, huh! Quite the lovebirds, aren't you!!" Wang Minghe's gaze was icy as he stared at Su Xiao with hatred. "You will pay a price for this!!"

Beside Wang Minghe was his mother, Li Lan, an Ancient Chinese professor at Beijing University. Upon seeing the two, Su Xiao's brow furrowed. Her expression changed, especially upon seeing Li Lan next to Wang Minghe, and she instinctively tried to pull Qin Heng away. She didn't want to deal with Wang Minghe, but she was also somewhat wary of Li Lan.

For a graduate student, the relationship with one's advisor is crucial. A fallout could potentially result in not receiving a degree, or even make graduation difficult. This was an unavoidable reality. This was why, when previously faced with Wang Minghe's pursuits, Su Xiao could only avoid him without explicitly rejecting him.

Now, Wang Minghe was with Li Lan. The situation had become very difficult. Even though Qin Heng was a Grandmaster of Transcendence, he was ultimately still within the realm of Martial Artists. Beijing University was China's premier institution of higher learning, and Li Lan, as a professor, might not truly be concerned about a Grandmaster of Transcendence.

"Su Xiao, come here," Li Lan called to her directly, as if summoning a kindergartner, completely ignoring Qin Heng beside her.

"..." Su Xiao was in a bind and fell silent. Leaving Qin Heng's side to go to Li Lan now was clearly impossible, but if this continued, her graduate studies were likely ruined. For a graduate student to offend their advisor was basically the end of their academic career.

"Advisor, is there something you need?" Su Xiao asked with a polite smile, though she remained firmly by Qin Heng's side, not moving an inch.

Li Lan didn't respond, her face darkening.

"Su Xiao, do you realize what you're saying?" Wang Minghe, unable to hold back, gritted his teeth at Su Xiao. "My mom is your advisor! You dare to disobey her? I think you don't want to graduate!!"

Wang Minghe was utterly furious. He simply couldn't understand why Su Xiao would choose a poor freshman over someone like him—rich, handsome, and well-connected. What was he lacking?? Couldn't he compare to a poor student decked out in cheap clothes from street stalls!???

Unacceptable!!

Aggrieved!!

These emotions surged through Wang Minghe's heart. His gaze shifted to Qin Heng, and he thought darkly, Little bastard, once I get Su Xiao, I'll send you a video of me f*cking her on the bed! Hahahaha!!

Wang Minghe didn't actually like Su Xiao; he merely wanted to satisfy his desire to conquer beautiful women. In his eyes, Su Xiao was just prey. Qin Heng was the man who had stolen his prey! Unforgivable!!

"Su Xiao, what Minghe said might have been a bit excessive, but it's not without reason," Li Lan began to threaten Su Xiao openly. "Actually, many girls are after my son. For him to take an interest in you is your good fortune. Come here. Otherwise, I'm afraid your thesis won't pass this year."

"Advisor, if there's nothing else, I'll be going," Su Xiao said, so angry her teeth ached. 'Take an interest in you is your good fortune'? And to outright threaten her with a failing thesis!! That's too much!!

But there was no solution, simply no way out. Li Lan was a professor at Beijing University, her advisor. A single word from her could decide whether her thesis passed or failed! And once the thesis failed, unless rewritten to satisfaction, she would never receive her degree certificate!!

A threat! An utterly shameless threat made with impunity!!

"So this is the caliber of a Beijing University professor?" Qin Heng suddenly spoke, addressing Li Lan. "Directly threatening students. It seems I need to have a word with Tan Wenhe and get rid of people like you sooner rather than later."

"Where did this little bastard come from? What do you think you are!? Do you have any right to speak here?" Wang Minghe pointed directly at Qin Heng and yelled, "Get lost! Don't let me see you again, or tomorrow I'll have my mom talk to your department head and get you expelled!"
